glabrous, minutely reticulate, the upper sliining ; main nerves ]2 to 19 

 pairs, spreading, rather straight, interarching very near the edge ; 

 length 4 to 10 in., the lower leaflets much the smallest ; breadth 2 to 3"5 

 in., petiolules "35 to '6 in. Panicles shorter than the leaves, axillary, 

 puberulous or glabrous, their branches only 1 or 2 inches long, few- 

 flowered, sub-corymbose. Flowers '4 in. long. Calyx shorter than the 

 petals, tubular, cut for half its length into 3 broad blunt teeth, puberu- 

 lous on both surfaces. Petals oblong, concave and thickened at the 

 apex, minutely tomentose outside. Stamens 6, the anthers linear-oblong, 

 shorter than the glabrous filaments which for two-thirds of their 

 length are united into a tube ; rudimentary ovary truncate, glabrous, 

 with a few hairs on the top. Female flowers not seen. Ripe drupes 

 ovoid-ellipsoid, not trigonous, glabrous, 1"75 in. long and "8 in. in diam., 

 peduncles stout ; the persistent calyx 3-angled, woody. Kurz For. Flora

The leaflets on the same leaf vary much in size and shape ; those to- 

 wards the base being short and broad, while those towards the apex are 

 oblong. This species is closely allied to C. bengalense, Eoxb., but its calyx 

 is more deeply toothed ; its anthers are shorter and broader ; and its leaves 

 although very similar in texture, are longer, have thicker rachises, while 

 the leaflets are serrate and not entire. The young branches of this are 

 moreover nearly twice as thick as those of G. bengalense. 



5. Canarium grandiflorum, a. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. 

 I, 633. A tree ; young branches stout, pubescent, ultimately glabrous 

 and dark-coloui'ed. Leaves 9 to 12 in. long, the rachis glabrous. Leaflets 

 thinly coriaceous, 7 to 9, opposite, ovate-lanceolate or elliptic-oblong, 

 acuminate, entire, the base rounded, upper surface glabrous ; the lower 

 glabrous or sparsely pubescent, with the 10 to 12 pairs of spreading main 

 nerves prominent ; length 3 to 4"5 in., breadth 1*35 to 1"75 in. ; petio- 

 lules "2 in. long, the terminal one longer. Male panicles little more than 

 half as long as the leaves, puberulous or nearly glabrous, with a few 

 long spi'eading branches ; the flowei'S few, in distant clusters, shortly 

 pedicelled. Calyx shortly campanulate, with 3 broad, blunt teeth, pube- 

 scent outside, glabrous inside. Petals longer than the calyx, oblong, thick, 

 concave, blunt, pubescent outside, glaberulous inside. Anthers linear, 

 longer than the filaments, the latter glabrous, dilated, and forming a short 

 tube, rudimentary ovary hairy. Female flowers Xoxgevih.^nih.e male, in 

 axillary racemes, or short panicles with racemose branches ; the anthers 

 short, ovate ; the filaments as in the male. Ovary broadly ovoid, tapering
